Chocolate couverture
Chocolate couverture is a high-quality chocolate used primarily for coating and dipping confections. It contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter compared to regular chocolate, which gives it a smooth texture and a glossy finish when melted and tempered. This makes it ideal for professional chocolatiers and pastry chefs, as it allows for a professional-looking finish on chocolates and desserts. Couverture chocolate is typically made with a minimum of 31% cocoa butter, ensuring it flows well when melted and creates a satisfying snap when set. It's available in dark, milk, and white varieties.
